Cobb salad, missing hard boiled egg
Sam H.

Attended a bowling tournament for the 2nd time here. I've been to many bowling alleys around the US and this is fairly set up well and appears to be well maintained. Pretty open and plenty of space. Since we were there all day Saturday, I opted to each lunch there during our break. While their food/snack bar offers the basic fare, they do offer some healthy choices you don't find in many alleys and that is a few salad options. Definitely, a lot of food on the plate and competitively priced for this type of venue. I chose the Cobb Salad, everything tasted fresh and their dressing is well seasoned. I was disappointed that they didn't have the hard boiled egg on my order, but still substantial.

Decided to have a spontaneous night out with my husband at Forest Lanes, and overall it was a great experience! I do have a few small critiques the lanes didn't feel oily enough, the bowling shoes weren't the most comfortable, and it would've been nice if the music was played a little louder to add to the vibe. Aside from that, I really enjoyed my time here. The customer service was excellent, the front desk staff were super friendly, and everything from the lanes to the tables was clean and well-maintained. My husband actually prefers this location over Irvine Lanes, and I have to agree it's definitely one of the better bowling spots we've been to in the area. We'll definitely be coming back!

I loved this bowling alley! A little bit old but had a good vibe. Went with my friends and had such a great time. Food was good surprisingly especially the wings and fries. Arcade was a little bit outdated though.

Entrance, by appointment only

I love Forest Lanes too because they provide a different depth to bowling than Bowlero, and I've made it a habit to visit with friends.

I came here thinking it would just be a casual bowling night and it turned into so much more…read more Irvine Lanes has such a fun vibe. The lanes were clean, the music was good, and it actually felt like a place you can hang out for a while and not get bored The food honestly surprised me in the best way. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders with fries, plus extra fries with sodas and lemonade and everything came out hot and really good. It did not feel like typical bowling alley food at all What really stood out to me is that they do catering and have rooms you can rent for events. They can host up to 200 guests and have options for all kinds of parties like birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and more. They also offer party platters with things like wings, burgers, salads and appetizers which makes it super easy if you are planning something Overall this is such a solid spot whether you are going for a casual night out or planning a full event. I would definitely come back with a group

It's perfect if you don't want to spend a ton of money just to bowl for a couple of hours. They also sell food, and if you're trying to turn up a bit, there's a small bar where you can grab a drink too. Overall, this spot is great if you just want to have a fun time without breaking the bank. Big shoutout to the staff -- 10/10 service and always greeting you with a smile. Thanks for the great experiences, Irvine Lanes!

Pretty chill place to bowl, play pool, or watch sports!…read more We did the $40 for a group of 4 deal. Came with shoe rentals and 2 hours of bowling (Mon - Thurs). There are a bunch of pool tables and a big bar area with TVs to watch games, drink, and eat! The dining/bar area was actually super crowded for the World Cup! You can also order food and drinks to your lane. We ordered the nachos, it wasn't bad, not the best, but good finger food (Tasted like a Dave and Busters nachos). Also ordered a tall beer for $12! Drink prices are around $10-18 depending if you are getting a cocktail or a beer. I would definitely enjoy coming back!

The space is clean, well-kept, and has a fun energy without feeling overwhelming. Pricing is pretty reasonable for what you get, which makes it easy to relax and actually enjoy your time without stressing about the cost. Pro tip: go in the morning if you can--when we went, it was basically empty, which made everything way more enjoyable (no waiting, no crowds, just vibes). Parking is at The Outlets at Orange, so you might have a bit of a walk depending on where you park, but it's manageable. What I loved most is that it really works for all ages--my grandma and my nephew both had a great time, which says a lot. Definitely a go-to if you're trying to plan something easy and fun for a group!

The pizza was really good, and the service was great! After bowling, we headed into the game room and played some laser tag. Running around in the blacklight, hiding, ducking, and trying to line up the perfect shot had us all laughing. There were so many great hiding spots... until someone found just the right angle to tag you..haha! After that, we made our way to Escapology Escape Rooms for our reservation. The staff was kind and accommodating, the lobby was beautiful, very comfortable and inviting. The escape room itself was awesome. We played Mansion Murder. The presentation was the best I've experienced so far. It was challenging and super fun. We'll definitely be back to try another room and enjoy another great time. Good stuff!

Really great to be able to watch the UFC mma fight while bowling on the screen between the two screens with our scores. The system allows you to take a pic of the player or upload your own. Really funny & cute displays of all our faces. Good selection of balls. The bar was amazing. Bartender was friendly and made a great old fashioned! So many lovely options of draft beers. Bartender provided a recommendation of an ipa local from SD. She provided a sample which is always helpful! Staff were all friendly. Shoe rentals were nice and reasonably priced. Really appreciated the self service water stations with cold water. Con: It was a little bit of a maze trying to find this place. It was in the corner of the parking garage. It would have been nice to have a server at the lanes vs having to go to the bar. Thanks for a great time!!
